Be the face of your brand, nobody will sell your product better than yourself. Anyone can succeed because audience size keeps growing. Ideas beat tech. Publishing content on social media is the best thing to receive customer feedback but also to sell stuff as even rich people use them. Number of views matters less than conversion. Every creator generates a new audience as he attracts people who are like him. YouTube videos are starting to be better at SEO (Search Engine Optimization) than blog articles. Do stuff and stuff happens. You can succeed without talking and/or without showing your face. You don't need to be an expert to start, you just need accessibility, authenticity, and passion. The creator knows less stuff than his whole audience. Success is a mountain without peak. Exposure brings both fans and haters, you must create to have fun yourself and not for others to detach yourself from their judgment. We must encourage adults to try the same way we encourage children. All it takes is to film and comment your activity to generate more revenue than the activity itself, and you don't have to be the best. What would you talk about if you were invited to The Dinner Game? Do it on your favorite platform and seek inspiration from the content you follow. AI won't replace content creator completely, even though they can provide better answers, because people need human connection to survive. The porn industry is a leader in digital innovation because there is so much views and money. YouTube is the hardest platform to live from while TikTok is the platform everyone should try. Make creation as easy as possible, ideally from the same device to remove friction. You'll get better by posting daily rather than trying to post the best content, practice like you do with workouts. Platforms' ad revenue isn't huge and depends on your category while real money is made with affiliate links, brand collaborations, paid content, and selling your own products. Accustom your audience to paying higher quality content early on. Creating content isolates, produce it outside and with friends.
Romain LanéryThe golden years only seem to exist in the past because it’s only with the benefit of hindsight that we know all our worries were a waste of time. When you’re going through it, all your concerns are still open loops. Every new challenge shows you a new territory you were scared of but survived. Each time you break a new limit, you now know you have the capacity to handle more than you ever did before. Your options for life direction are less constrained by your abilities than by your choices. Constraint of options makes the decision making process easier. In one world your life options are constrained by opportunity, in another world they are constrained by discernment. Looking over the shoulder of the present moment is a guaranteed way to ensure that you miss whatever is true and beautiful in your life right now. Lonely men need to stop making podcasts and start writing poems again. Just because you’re at the top does not mean you’re enjoying life.
Chris WilliamsonYou will never solve everything as there are no solutions, only trade-offs. Figure out the biggest priority at every given time and focus on it. You can't execute everything yourself, hence the need to have people do things for you. Take a step back, what is going on in your world? Health is a priority you should never walk away from, keep a good night of sleep and some sort of workout in your daily life. Confidence requires humility and saying you don't know. Be humble during the preparation but confident during the fight, flip the switch consciously, active Mamba Mentality. The only way to overcome fear is to go; actions remove doubts. The longer you speculate, the worse fear gets. No one is going to die, calm down. Discipline builds up, do one right thing as soon as you wake up and motivate yourself with the good feeling you'll have afterward. Discipline isn't difficult when you like the thing. You will never get back what you skipped today. You don't get fat nor fit overnight. You can't predict people's success based on their background. You only have one short life, what do you want to do with it? Have a sense of urgency in order to make things happen. Don't spend years trying to figure out what would take days to do; go out there, fail, live great stories. The only time you should take a break is when your performance goes backwards.
